Autoform shows numbers-I want names
If the autonumbers are associated with the names, you can create a combo box
that includes the number and the name. Create a combo box, open its property sheet (View Properties, or use the toolbar icon), click the Data tab, and click Row Source. Click the three dots that appear to the right. A query design grid will appear. Add PersonID (the autonumber) to the first column. In the second column, something like: FullName: [LastName] & ", " & [FirstName]. Open the combo box property sheet again. On the Format tab, set the column widths to something like 0";1.5". Set the Column Count to 2. On the Data tab, set the Bound Column to 1 (which is the hidden autonumber column). Set the combo box Control Source to the field in which you wish to store the manager ID. When you select a name, the ID column will be stored, but the name will be displayed. "MeSteve" wrote in message ...
